The Kinly Bar is an amazing speakeasy style bar in this grungy red light area of Frankfurt. I have…read moreto admit, their bar-front threw me off since it's very dimly lit inside. It looks closed from the outside and you have to use the doorbell to get in. The drinks are expensive, but good, and made well. I ordered off-menu since I wasn't really feeling anything on it. I really just wanted a nice old fashioned and after my long day, I was extremely satisfied with the one presented to me. The ice cubes are hand-cut, and whenever a bar combined a rocks glass, hand-cut ice, and some whiskey concoction, it's a take-my-money moment for me. The Kinly is my favorite bar in Frankfurt!

If you want to experience authentic Frankfurt food then this is an absolute-must…read more It's such a traditional and charming restaurant with pure rustic accents and vibes. When we were there it was hopping busy with locals sometimes groups of 10+ having dinner. The service was great. We were treated as though we belonged and it felt great. They're known for Apfelwein (you guessed it, Apple wine). It is a flavorful, light, and refreshing wine that paired nicely with our meals. They make a green sauce that is so fragrant and tasty I started eating it by the spoonful. The food was so good. We ate everything, leaving nothing behind. This traditional German tavern was everything I was hoping it would be and then some. I am totally in love.

My German friend recommended Zum Gemalten Haus so we checked it out on a Friday evening for dinner…read moreand drinks. We walked over after exploring some attractions in Frankfurt and taking a nice stroll in the park. Ambiance (4.5/5): This is where this traditional German restaurant shines. The outside of the bar and restaurant is beautiful. Above the restaurant, there's an apartment complex covered in a mural. It's a welcoming start. From there, there's a beautiful outdoor patio where you'll see more murals. That's the best place to sit. There's also a small interior dining area and a small back patio if you want something a little more private. Service (3/5): Pretty much your typical European service. Not terribly attentive or friendly but acceptable. We had to grab our waiter's attention several times. Drinks (4/5): When in Rome, do as the Romans do. When in Germany, that means beer. The running joke on this trip is that the best cocktail in Germany is beer. I had both a helles beer and a weizener (wheat) beer. Both are quality as you would expect from German beer. Food (3/5): I had the veal schnitzel (breaded cutlet) which is served with fried potatoes and green sauce. Green sauce is a Frankfurt specialty and it's made from a blend of seven herbs. It's a little too herbaceous for my taste but still worth trying. The thin cutlet was solid and I always gravitate to veal on a menu as it's not something you come across every day. With that being said, I've had a lot of traditional German food on my trip and this experience was a notch below the norm. I'd focus on the drinks and ambiance as the highlights here.

This is a small cozy bar with eclectic arts that is more like a speakeasy. Kind of divy and hipster but fun decor, and unlike typical German pubs or beer halls. Only a few blocks from the touristy areas. Good spot for relaxing a couple hours.

So is it as it says on the tin.... The Place To Be!?…read more Well I would not 100% agree with that, but it is a pretty good place to spend an hour or two. If your in Frankfurt and fancy glass of vino or a quick pint then I reckon this should be on your list. It's got a total Berlin bar vibe to it. Very laid back and quirky looking with a mish mash of chairs and decor. It's almost got a relaxed Caribbean feel too it in my opinion. Run down shabby chic. The bar dude was friendly and helpful. The drinks were cheap as chips and they seemed to do food, (big bowls of soup appeared) but I did not try it. Good "hipster" bar, totally different from the traditional huge German beer halls in every way possible. You should check it out for sure. The Riesling was very good if you fancy a glass of white wine.

We ordered a variety of cocktails and were impressed with the artistry and presentation of each drink. They were decorated beautifully and tasted delicious. Service was friendly and prompt and the atmosphere cozy. Highly recommend. Cocktails range from 14€-16€. Pricey but for a nice night out, definitely worth it.

Go there and just ask them to either create something for you or to riff on your favorite cocktail to see how they will re-imagine it! They use some fascinating liquors, whiskeys, aperitifs and so forth that they buy/discover but then there are all the other things that they make from scratch!

A craft cocktail bar hidden in the middle of Frankfurt!…read more I stumbled upon this place while wandering around with a friend, and was treated to a nice surprise! The bartender knew his stuff, and was happy to make custom cocktails based upon your desired flavor profile. He was very friendly to speak with. They have a nice selection of whiskeys, bourbons, tequilas, as well as many type of bitters, etc. The lighting is dim, with a fun mix of old jazz music playing. I enjoyed this place so much on my first trip, I took several clients here the following night for post-dinner drinks. I would definitely come back again when in the area.

Nice, clean, restaurant in the Steigenberger Hof Hotel…read more Staff is professional and good. English was well spoken by several staff members. Don't shame me for doing this but a colleague highly recommended the cheeseburger. So, I had to try it and it didn't disappoint. Big patty, tasty thick bacon, and great bun and sauce. Better than some U.S. places hands down. The coleslaw was excellent (but small portion). Fries weren't bad but again, small portion. Son had the wienerschnitzel. Huge portion but thin pounded cut so it wasn't that big that you couldn't finish it. Potatoe/cucumber salad was delish. On the expensive side but worth a second visit.

The place is nice because it doesn't have loud music blasting and you can hold a conversation unlike other cocktail bars in Frankfurt. The staff is very fast and friendly. They immediately served us and brought cucumber infused water along with a snack mix. I found it great that they gave little snacks for their customers to munch on. The cocktails tasted great and had a decent amount of alcohol inside. I would say the cocktails are a bit pricey for the quality though. Other than that highly recommend this place for a night out.

Total capacity wouldn't be much more than 50 people so it is important to get there early to secure a spot. The cocktail list is impressive.

Can smoke inside which may deter some people.
